I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Just as the ghost soul said.

After Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang flew out of the evil cultivators' lair and arrived at a densely populated area, they found that the environment of the "Six Kingdoms in the Swamp" was no different from the spiritual world.

There are immortal monks everywhere.

Not even a trace of the ancient demon was seen.

The only difference is that the number of demon cultivators is far higher than that in the spiritual world, accounting for as much as 40% of the cultivator group.

"Small spiritual world?" After arriving at the nearby market and seeing the description of this world in geographical books, a strange look flashed across Wei Tu's face.

In the worldview of the cultivators here, this place is not a place where the ancient demons keep the cultivators captive and provide them with blood and food. Instead, it is a "transit station" for them to ascend to the spiritual world and the ancient demon world when they fail.

That’s right! Most of the cultivators in the six countries in Zezhong are descendants of ascended cultivators.

These ascended monks, when they were ascending to the spiritual world and the ancient demon world, were accidentally sucked into the "space vortex" and then mistakenly entered this "small spiritual world".

The reason why this world is called the small spiritual world.

The reason is very simple.

The upper limit of the realm here is much higher than the small world they came from, and the concentration of spiritual energy here is also quite rich... Except that the territory is much smaller than the legendary spiritual world, other environmental characteristics are almost the same as those of the spiritual world.

“Since this ‘small spiritual world’ is the place where those demon cultivators ascend to heaven, could it be that after my fourth brother ascended to the ancient demon world, he was also in a place similar to this ‘Six Kingdoms in the Marsh’?” Wei Tu’s eyes flickered as he had this thought.

According to the ghost soul, there are far more places in the ancient demon world that raise immortal monks than just the "Six Kingdoms in the Marsh".

It can be seen that raising monks as blood food has become the norm for these powerful ancient demons.

However, thinking about it the other way around, this would also allow him to determine Fu Zhizhou's safety to a certain extent.

The value of an ascended demon cultivator is much higher than that of the natives in the "small spiritual world". In order to protect their "blood food", even if an ancient demon discovers Fu Zhizhou's ascension, they will allow him to grow safely for a while until he becomes food.

"Friend Wei, aren't you interested in this holy spirit?"

Inside the Fangshi Bookstore, Da Yuanshuang, wearing a golden tiger mask, stared at the yellow jade slip in his hand with burning eyes and said.

"Holy Spirit Energy?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed the yellow jade slip from Da Yuanshuang's hand.

When he was at the evil cultivators’ lair, after confirming that this world was the Ancient Demon World, he thought that the so-called “holy spirit energy” was actually “demon energy”. After all, these ancient demons referred to the Ancient Demon World as the Holy World, and most of them referred to the demon ancestors who were equivalent to the Mahayana in the Spirit World as the Holy Ancestor, rather than the Demon Ancestor…

But after coming to this market, he discovered that the ecological humanities of these "Six Kingdoms in the Lake" were quite similar to the human world he lived in.

A demon cultivator is a demon cultivator and there is no need to give him any high-sounding titles, let alone calling the "demon energy" the Holy Spirit Energy and establishing the strongest country among the six countries in Zezhong - the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

"The Holy Spirit Qi comes from the Holy Spirit Stone... It is more powerful than the Five Elements Qi. It has no attributes. After absorbing it into the body, it will greatly increase combat power and life span?"

"You can even use it to reach the state of half-step fusion first."

Wei Tu’s spiritual consciousness penetrated into the jade slip and checked the contents inside.

"Half a step to fusion? Could it be that the evil cultivator named Lou borrowed this holy spirit energy to master the rules and laws in advance?" After reading it, Wei Tu quickly understood why Da Yuanshuang was so excited just now.

This method of advancing to half-step fusion without failing in breaking through fusion is a huge temptation for any cultivator in the spiritual world.

The difficulty of merging is that one must concentrate on breaking through the realm, and also concentrate on successfully mastering the laws of heaven and earth at the moment of breakthrough, controlling one's own mana, and preventing oneself from being blown up by the huge amount of mana that suddenly increases...

However, if you master the "rules and legal domain" in advance, it will be very different.

The breakthrough can be achieved in two steps.

Security will improve rapidly.

"When I was in the clan, I heard from the elders that the three hegemonic clans had mastered rare resources that our Ten Spirit Clan did not know about... They could use this to increase the chances of breaking through to the Fusion Realm, allowing the clan's strong men to prosper forever..."

"Now it seems that this so-called rare resource is the Holy Spirit Stone of the six countries in the marsh?"

Da Yuanshuang said this with a look of excitement.

His honey is my arsenic.

The Holy Spirit Stone is extremely precious in the spiritual world and is a rare resource that only the three major clans can enjoy.

But in the ancient demon world, the value of this item to a group of ancient demons is extremely limited - for this reason, it is not inconceivable that it can be used as a nourishment for cultivating blood food.

“It seems that being teleported here is not too unfortunate for you and me…” Upon hearing this, Wei Tu’s face showed some relief.

However, to be on the safe side, he still asked the ghost soul about the matter, and only after asking it to swear an oath as a demon did he feel at ease.

The Holy Spirit Stone is much more valuable than the mid-grade Spirit Crystal.

There was no place to buy it in the small market that Wei Tu had found temporarily.

Therefore, after checking the intelligence about the "Six Kingdoms in the Marsh", Wei Tu and Da Yuanshuang immediately rushed to the capital of the "Tu Ling Kingdom" - Lingyan City.

Although the six countries in the marsh are small, compared with the vastness of the spiritual world, they are not small at all for the two of them who are practicing the Void Refining Technique.

In addition, the relations among the "Six Kingdoms in Zezhong" were not peaceful, and wars occurred all year round. Each country also deployed large armies of monks on its borders to prevent enemy invasions.

Therefore——

If you want to travel across several countries to the Holy Spirit Kingdom, the fastest way, or shortcut, is to go through official channels and take the ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays set up by various countries.

However, on the way to Lingyan City, Wei Tu's calm face showed a hint of worry.

The guidance given to him by the ancient demon's broken arm were six big characters: "Holy Spirit Country, Wangxiandu". The Holy Spirit Country was easy to understand, but as for the place name "Wangxiandu", he could hardly find any clues after consulting many classics.

It was as if it did not exist in the Kingdom of the Holy Spirit.

“I can only go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom first and then use the broken arm of the ancient demon to divine once more.” Wei Tu sighed secretly.

The broken arm of the ancient demon uses the "Law of Wishes" to calculate the secrets of heaven and destiny, but it is not without cost. The blood and food he offers is the "price" for his action.

Correspondingly, ultra-long-distance divination and close-distance divination are naturally different.

Not only can the consumption be much lower.

The accuracy will also be greatly improved.

When he left Dingyuan Immortal City, he tried his best to buy "Life-Locking Pillars" on the black market, but due to the limited quantity on the black market, he did not get much.

Add to that the cost of the two previous "wishes".

At this moment, he only had one "Life-Locking Stake" left in his hand.

This number is obviously a bit insufficient.

But just as Wei Tu was thinking.

How to get more lock piles.

His spiritual sense was comparable to that of a peak refining void realm. At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of cultivators quietly surrounding him and Da Yuanshuang from hundreds of miles away.

"The enemy is coming." Da Yuanshuang warned with a sarcastic smile on his face.

According to her spiritual observation, the highest level among this group of cultivators is only at the initial stage of refining emptiness.

Wanting to surround and kill the two of them is simply too bold.

Of course, she subconsciously ignored her and Wei Tu's disguises, forgetting that she had already reached the "Spiritual Transformation" realm.

"Don't rush to act, wait and see. These native monks may be able to help you and me sneak into Lingyan City."

Wei Tu remained calm and replied calmly.

"You also used your spiritual sense to sense that group of monks?"

After hearing these words, Da Yuanshuang was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Just now, although she reminded Wei Tu that the enemy had arrived, she did not tell him the detailed information about the enemy.

This move hinted at her little thoughts.

One was to make Wei Tu lose his composure and embarrass himself in front of her so that she could take revenge on him. Although she had reached a "cooperation" relationship with Wei Tu at this time, she did not mind "cheating" Wei Tu in these small matters.

The second is to let Wei Tu beg her, whether it is enemy intelligence or letting her take the initiative to attack...

——The one who speaks first will always get favors. Then, she can step by step take back the initiative in her relationship with Wei Tu.

But she didn't expect it.

Wei Tu's reaction would be so calm.

It was as if he had already spotted the invading enemy.

“Indeed, this Wei Tu, at the initial stage of the Void Refinement Realm, was able to inflict a great loss on the evil cultivator surnamed Lou and snatch the [Boundary Severing Stone] from him… His perception must be no less than that of a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.” Da Yuanshuang’s beautiful eyes flickered as she thought to herself, and stopped looking down on Wei Tu.

……

Hundreds of miles away.

Inside a desolate valley, monks from all directions gathered here, all of them casting their eyes on an old man with a horse face standing in the center of the valley.

There are three groups of monks in total. Although their costumes are different, the "family emblem" embroidered on their shoulders undoubtedly represents their identities and which family or force they belong to.

"Third Brother is right. There are indeed two new gods in Guangling County. The appearance of these two people... doesn't look like cultivators from our country. It seems... they are cultivators from the lower realm who have ascended from the lower realm..."

The horse-faced monk clasped his hands together and used a secret method to project the scenes of Wei Tu and Da Yuanshuang flying at the moment onto the rock wall of the valley.

"A monk who ascended from the lower realm? I wonder if he is a demon cultivator or a spiritual cultivator? If he is a demon cultivator, then according to the previous agreement, I will give it to your "Qushan Deng Clan"..."

"But if it's spiritual practice, this ascended monk will have to be divided between our two families."

Standing in front of the cultivators, a white-haired old woman holding a snake-head cane smiled sinisterly.

“Heh! These two cultivators are different from the previous ascended cultivators. They appeared together. Such a couple who ascended together… are most likely people with extremely powerful magical powers.”

"Moreover, the couple ascended together. It would be difficult for you and me to win them over through marriage."

On the other side, a charming young woman with a good figure and cool clothes licked her red lips and stepped forward to interrupt.

If there were any cultivators from Guangling County present.

You will be able to recognize at a glance the identities of the horse-faced old man, the old woman with a snake staff, and the charming young woman.

He is the "Lianxu Patriarch" among the three great immortal cultivation families in Guangling County. He is a well-deserved strong man within a radius of thousands of miles!
"so--"

"In my opinion, these two can only be regarded as "human pills" and divided among our three families! It just so happens that one of my Cheng family's daughters is still short of a furnace tripod."

The charming young woman said with cold eyes.

"Old Ghost Deng, what's your opinion?" The old basilisk woman asked with a hint of approval. She looked at the horse-faced old man who remained silent and asked.

"That female cultivator, I want her!"

The horse-faced old man didn't say much, but his light words already showed his attitude.

"Although the female cultivator has her face covered with a mask, in my opinion, she must be a beauty. You, an old ghost, are lucky to have her. But I can't give her away for free. After the matter is done, you, the "Qushan Deng Family", must give three "Zhagu Pills" to each of our two families..."

The old woman with the snake staff chuckled and asked for benefits.

"That's right, after your Deng family gets that female cultivator, you must give out the 'Chagu Pill'..." The charming young woman also nodded her head in agreement.

"Zhagu Pills... I don't have many of these pills left in the Deng family. We refined them back then, and only four are left today. Two pills for your family is enough... After all, this female cultivator is said to be an ascended cultivator, but she is only a god-transforming cultivator..."

"It's just that compared to other cultivators in the country, it's less likely for you and I to cause trouble after we kill them."

The old man with a horse face narrowed his eyes and refused to give way.

The three men bargained as if they were certain that Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang, who were flying in the distance, were already in their pockets.

"Ancestor, that female cultivator seems to have disappeared."

Just as the three were arguing, a Divine Transformation cultivator behind the horse-faced old man seemed to have discovered something. After a slight look of surprise, he quickly spoke up to remind them.

"What, disappeared?"

"How can this be?"

"My vulture can monitor a thousand miles away. With the speed of a spirit, it is impossible to escape its eagle eyes..."

The horse-faced old man frowned, flicked his sleeves, and turned to look at the rock wall behind him.

however--

At the moment he moved.

He suddenly saw a piece of light blue skirt falling from the sky and landing in front of him.

Following the hem of the skirt upwards, there are slender legs slightly wrapped in the lotus skirt, and the almost flawless hip line...

Soon, a pair of cold eyes, like the ripples on a lake and without any emotion, met his eyes directly.

The horse-faced old man swallowed his saliva subconsciously, quickly made some hand gestures, and retreated violently.

He was very familiar with the female cultivator in front of him. It was the furnace tripod that he had just fought with the old woman with a snake staff and the seductive young woman for...

But he never expected that Da Yuanshuang, who had been suppressed under him in his mind and begged for mercy, would suddenly fly hundreds of miles, break in here silently, and come in front of him at this moment.

"My fellow Taoist, didn't you just want to play with me? Why are you afraid of me coming in person?"

The next moment, a sound like the sound of nature suddenly rang out in this deadly quiet valley, making the faces of all the practitioners present suddenly look gloomy.

Because they clearly sensed that the spiritual pressure of the female cultivator in front of them was not the late stage of the Spiritualization as they had misjudged, but... in the Seven Kingdoms of Zezhong, it can also be called the peak of the Refining Void! (End of this chapter)
